I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand,
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?

I love Joy Division, but I'm at a conference and can't be fucking around with youtube.
I wasn't a preppy then, I was being "rebellious".

Fair enough. The tune is Disorder. Theme song. Get it?
So I recently watched 24 Hour Party People for the second time and Control shortly after. Plus more wine than necessary -- thats how these things happen.

Hey, watch it, Todd! Sorry I missed the Joy Division link. Although I marginally prefer John Foxx's Ultravox to Joy Division, I own plenty of both. Have you seen the movie "24 Hour Party People"? Well worth watching if you're a fan of the Madchester sound.

I loved 24 hour party people. Watched Joy Division a couple of weeks ago and just got Control from Netflix. I got hammered watching Joy Division and must admit, I shed a tear.
24 Hour Party people basically represents the music of my childhood to adolescence, so I'm not impartial (and I find Coogan hilarious).
Disorder would be a great theme song, you should suggest it to the Politburo.

Sorry, guys, but I grew out of Joy Division quicker than Jesus & Mary Chain. Get some oomph! New Order! Not slashing one's wrists!

Sorry Sharon, Joy Division, like Jonathan Richman, is one of those guy things that if you do the math you will figure out how old (more or less) the posters (can't say patients anymore) are here.

Sorry, Sharon, but you probably had to have been there at the time. Joy Division came along at a time when the music scene here in the US was ossifying at a horrendous rate. Punk was dead, as proclaimed by no less a worthy than John Lydon, and disco had taken the country by storm, simultaneously lobotomizing both funk and rock. By the time Closer hit the cover of the Rolling Stone, Ian Curtis was dead and gone, but their music was still like a jolt of AC to the temples. Of course, with knowledge of his suicide, songs like "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and "Isolation" take on additional meaning, but their musical impact is immediately evident when one hears such current bands as Interpol and Editors. New Order had its moments, but never the visceral impact of Joy Division (IMHO).

As a fifteen-year-old I knew New Order before Joy Division. Thomas Manor at the corner of 8 Mile and Gratiot, a big swoop of hair in my eyes, dancing with the rich girls that rode up from Grosse Pointe for a little danger on a Sunday night. I like New Order and they paved the way for much of the music I listen to now but their tunes are tame in comparison to Joy Divisions best.
Ian Curtis was the original emo kid! All others are pretenders.

The Talking Heads sucked? So what didn't suck? I must know.
I like how they used Adrian Belew.

VLM, you suck big time. And, yes.
Putnam, please, please, please, please, please. Everything else was good. The Cure! Echo & the Bunnymen! XTC! Depeche Mode! etc. Video Killed the Radio Star!
But Talking Heads? Please take me outside and whack me on the back of the neck...

There's no Air without Joy Division.
